Run Slide Show

The Slide Show function lets users launch a slide show of all the Discover items in a folder in a the "light viewer" mode. This is similar to the "Slide Show" option in the App Tab Home Menu.

The Slide Show only uses Discover items in the root of the selected folder. Any items stored in sub-folders are ignored.

While in the slide show, the content remains fully interactive and all queries are run against their data sources, live. This includes accessing the right-click context menus and all their associated functionality. However, users cannot save any changes.

Launching the Slide Show

To run the slide show, use the right-click context menu of the relevant folder and choose Run Slide Show. This can be done from either a folder in the folder tree or a folder item in the item listing of the content explorer.

In slide show mode, the Viewer ribbon is presented at the top of the page, allowing users to:

  • Interact with discoveries using the ribbon (green box below), the Hamburger menu (orange arrow), or directly on the canvas using context menus, slicers, and other interactive elements. For more information, see Discoveries in the Viewer.
  • Cycle between the different reports sequentially using the arrows (purple box). Note: These arrows are only shown if the directory contains more than one discovery.
  • Close the slide show and return to the Content Manager (blue arrow).
